What this status means
Royal Mail has scanned your parcel as it leaves the United Kingdom. It has cleared UK processing and is now on its way to the destination country, usually by air or by road and sea, depending on the route. The parcel is in transit between countries, not in a local delivery office.
Is my package delayed?
No. This message by itself is normal and is a routine step for any international parcel. It is a sign of progress, not a problem. The journey abroad can take longer than the earlier steps, and tracking updates often pause while the parcel is in transit.
What happens next
The parcel travels to the destination country, where the local postal service or courier takes over. The next scan is usually an arrival or import message there. Customs checks may follow before it is passed on for local delivery. Royal Mail may not show every later step, because the final stages are often tracked by the destination carrier.
What you can do
- Wait and keep checking. A quiet period after this scan is common.
- If you are the recipient, be aware that customs duties or fees may apply in your country.
- If tracking does not update for longer than usual, ask the seller first, as they can raise a trace with Royal Mail.
- Have your tracking number and order details ready when you contact anyone.
